Major League Baseball only!

That would be a rather tedious and not very fruitful task. The list of
top home run hitters in MLB is dominanted by modern day players. Most
kept the same uniform number throughout their careers. A few changed
numbers as free agency took them from tean-to-team. The original idea
was for the number to signify importance in the batting order, but as
you will see that tradition changed over the years.

Aaron-44
Ruth-3
Bonds-25
Mays-24
F. Robinson-20
McGwire-25
Sosa-21
Killebrew-3
R. Jackson -44
M Schmidt-20
M. Mantle-7
Musial-6
McGriff-28
Stargell-8
Winfield-3/9
Ernie Banks-14
Ted Wiliams-6
Mel Ott-4
Jackie Robinson-42

Too many choices, not enough consistency.
